Laplace

Laplace Park has electricity, cable, phones, etc. Everything is back on. Belle Terre from the post office to I-10 on the post office side still appears to be off. Not sure how far it runs, but it is all dark on that side.
I have to say, I have read about a lot of people venting about Laplace and the parish president and the issues with electricity, but I was told it would not be until Sept 11, so the fact that I got electricity so much earlier than I was told is wonderful. Also, I drove around Laplace today (once I returned home from our evac-cation) and the police and firemen have been out and about in full force. Working the intersections, directing traffic. Also there are plenty of truck with men working on the power lines. Please be patient, but know that they are working feverishly to get everything restored. I think our parish president and everyone involved handled everything as good as could be expected. I was informed, both from emails and checking the parish website, and we happy with the information/direction given.
